About the Journal

The Journal of Critical Public Health (JCPH) is a fully peer-reviewed scholarly journal that publishes empirical research and debate. We consider submissions from any discipline or perspective, so long as authors engage critically with the theory, practice or implications of public health.  We recognise that both 'public health' and 'critical scholarship' are contested  concepts.  We are particularly interested in submissions which: take power seriously; provide innovative perspectives; have implications for policy and practice; and/or question taken-for-granted concepts.   

The journal is published by the international Critical Public Health Network in Edinburgh, UK (https://cphn.net/), ISSN 3033-3997. The journal is included in DOAJ.
